Join the weekly Classic Castle set review discussion. Please post your opinions on the set play ability, piece selection, design, etc. Which sets stand up to our catapult of critique and which ones crumble in shame!

This week’s set is 6042 Dungeon Hunters.

Dungeon Hunters, released in 1990, is a paddy wagon for the Crusaders. It comes with an armored knight, a driver, a forestman prisoner, and accessories.

Everyone else has pointed out what makes this a great little set and it certainly is a great little set. But when I look at that poor white horse struggling to pull the big heavy wagon, all I can think is ouch. The other cart in this size 6055 Prisoner Convoy had four horses pulling the cart. This cart should have had at least two horses pulling the cart. That said, it is still a great set and I give it a 9/10 then and a 15/10 compared to sets today.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Anyway, I think I might have this set, but I am not sure...it looks really good from what I can tell from the picture. Two horses, one good guy, two bad guys (bias, I know ), euro armor and brown wheels. The other parts are nothing outstand, but very usable.

I bought this set in 1990 only a few monthes after it came out to the stores. It was the biggest wagon after 6055. One point that Will mantioned that it could have used another horse to pull it. Basiclly the set design is nice, I was very fond of the jail doors back then. When I bought it I was dispointed because a little misunderstanding which that I thought it had a crossbow and of course it didn't (I know crossbow nowadays are something pretty common but it was 1990 - the year they invented them and I didn't have any). The knight is great of course and another forestman can always come in handy although it's really the common one. Overall it looks good. I have one of this sets from 1990 and hopefully I'll get my 2nd one in about 2 weeks

Hey this looks really good, but why on earth is it called dungeon hunters

It is called dungeon hunters because the knight and cart driver are hunting for outlaws to place in the king's dungeon.

My review:

Dungeon Hunters is great because of the nice basic color scheme, good cart design, and great minifigures. Although the red "robin hood" figure is in almost every set with a forestman. Perhaps a rarer forest fig would have been nice.
